City Parks, Nature Areas, & TrailsThe City of Brooklyn Center prides itself on 522 acres of parks and nature areas, each with its own personality. For more information, visit the park information links.

Combined with a 20-mile trail system extending to all neighboring communities and the Mississippi River close at hand, residents can walk or bicycle almost anywhere in minutes.

North Mississippi Regional ParkThe North Mississippi Regional Park is located along the west bank of the Mississippi River at 49th Avenue and I-94 in Brooklyn Center and Minneapolis. For information on it or other Hennepin County parks, contact Three Rivers Park District.

Mississippi River Trail (MRT)The Mississippi River Trail is an exciting bicycle route that follows America’s premier river, from its headwaters in Itasca State Park to the Gulf of Mexico offering a unique north-south transect of the United States to adventurous bicyclists. Although the majority of the MRT is routed
on relatively low use roads and road shoulders, imbedded throughout are significant off-road trail opportunities to delight almost any bicyclist. For more information, visit the Minnesota Department of Transportation website.
